Honda's Naoki Yamamoto looks back on a frustrating Autopolis SuperGT race and says he's determined to avoid a winless season:

Yamamoto and Makino matched their best finish of the season aboard the #100 Team Kunimitsu NSX-GT on Sunday, also achieving the minimum result needed to stay in contention for this year's crown.

Yamamoto admitted he soon realised that he would have to give up on chasing Tsukakoshi and focus on defending second from Kohei Hirate's Kondo Nissan once he started running out of grip. Last year, Yamamoto led the drivers' standings heading into the season finale at Fuji, only for his hopes of becoming SUPER GT's first solo champion since 2000 to be wrecked by a collision with the ARTA Honda NSX GT3 of Ren Sato.
